Maruti Grand Vitara 200 KMs Mileage Test - Strong Hybrid (IEH) | MotorBeam

We took the Maruti Grand Vitara IEH for a 200 kms test to find out its real-world fuel efficiency. We drove the car for 100 kms in the city and 100 kms on the highway out of which the city runs were done in Eco mode while the highway runs were done in Normal mode and Power mode for 50 kms each.

What variant will you buy? Strong hybrid or mild hybrid?

[@dr.pushpakmali5261]

Strong hybrids make sense.

[@confidential4712]

Buy brezza if u want normal engine..

[@abhishekshetty9779]

But the problem is in maintenance. Nobody is talking about it. There is an extra cost between Hybrid & Mild Hybrid top end variants. Additional to this am more curious about the Battery in Full hybrid. How much would that cost and what is it’s life? Is it part of car warranty or has extra warranty?

[@adakhochalai]

Best solution is to get honda city diesel. Milage of 25kmpl (hyryder hybrid is 27 kmpl). No headache of replacing hybrid battery in future which will cost several lakhs

You should also do one hyper miling test with this. Just to see the extreme mielage test 😉

[@abhayjha6709]

I'd go for CNG. Costs approx 5 lacs less and easily gives a city mileage of over 22 kmpl and a highway mileage of 27-28 kmpl @ Rs 75/kg. Absolute value for money. This was the reason why I went for xl6 Zeta CNG. With a real world mileage as above at Rs14.20 lakhs on road. I see very low incentive in spending over 5 lakhs for it. P.S. This is strictly from a mileage perspective. As far as comfort and performance goes I get a blip of 12 BHP when driving on cng with 88 bhp whereas when driving on petrol I get a 101 bhp. But trust me I feel very little lag between the two. As far as comfort goes, it is a no brainer. Gives you everything you need. Yes, if you are looking for auto transmission, ventilated seats and other accessories then it's a different matter. Otherwise strictly from mileage perspective cng is anyday better.

[@darani123]

We get around 20+KMPL with many other 1.5lts diesel engines. Also, battery has to be replaced and may cost ~2laks (not sure about the value - assumption based on Camry's battery cost). If the owner does not drive a lot, then again Hybrid or EV does not make sense. If the mileage is over 35KMPH without reducing the riding delight, would make a better choice/option for me.

[@f1pro910]

but you are forgetting main point that diesel engines are dinosaurs. in next few years all manufacturers will stop diesel engines. this will be best replacement for diesel engines. with new pollution norms it is really difficult to upgrade diesel engines. TATA is just surviving on Fiat sourced diesel engines and they know they need to switch for alternate solution like bring bring new petrol engine.

[@Ajaypandey-bf6jx]

How's the inside air quality of the car..

[@shishir930]

Would be good if you provide mileage for complete petrol run, would be the real one because if you go for a long ride on highway, you must be driving between 90-110

[@sarora3907]

No auto journalist has guts to do only city drive mileage test.

[@Auto-vu5tl]

Brand friendly review 😌

[@venbas2]

Some hard economics on the cost of ownership...a Petrol K15 with a 14kmpl mileage will give a saving of 4.5L over 1.2Lakh kms as compared to the 25KMPL Strong Hybrid. So the upfront cost difference of 9L between the starting models of Mild and Strong Hybrid is AS HUGE AS IT GETS GAP!!!!

[@poms97]

Really wanted it to have the 1.4 Boosterjet engine, if it had the boosterjet engine it would have killed Creta/Seltos and Taigun/Kushaq

[@baarish84]

In Strong Hybrid set up, electric motor acts as turbo. And best part is , torque is available from 0 rpm. There are hardly any strong hybrid set ups in world where turbo engine is utilised .

[@skbhaduri]

No, the running cost is not lower than diesel. My Creta diesel gives mileage of 22-23 kmpl on highways at speed of 90+, more when i stay at 80 kmph.

[@ABS_3838]

What is the combined BHP and Torque?

[@manoja538]

116

[@irfaninamdar8100]

The Diesel engine with hybrid would be a cherry on cake

[@adityavisu]

Not worth the investment. Also it would bomb because of the high price. Theoretically, it may work.

[@Pavan_Aiyappa]

Sonet Diesel manual gives 22-23 mileage , more power no headache of replacing battery and diesel is cheaper as well , sonet diesel Auto also gives 19 to 20 so running cost of vitara is not less than a normal diesel car!!

[@ABS_3838]

How is the performance.. is it a punchy... How is on demand pickup for overtaking.. in short is this a fun to drive?

[@jaggpaddy]

Absouletly not😪

[@arshsingal65]

Diesel car average is also around 18-20 on highway. So it will also be 5 rs per km

200 km mileage test only in city is needed

[@DanyPrasadTK]

Highway absolute lack of torque in this strong hybrid.. especially 3cyl.. I think the sweet spot of this car is 95-105km/hr..

[@adityavisu]

If you get good economy with real speed like 95-110 in highway, then it is good. Highway driving should mainly be cruising in my opinion.

[@brendonfernandes2877]

Which is good considering most highways top out at 100 kph for the top speed. Only a few expressways have a 120 km/hr top speed but its no fun driving with a constant beeping noise.

[@akshay-nr7xk]

I feel like it's not that impressive, I bet the k15 would have been very close to the same efficiency. I have an ignis and with that car i got around 24.8 in the MID after a trip to a hill station

[@baarish84]

I agree. These reviewers do not want to do hard work. Driving 200 km on highways is easy. Strong Hybrid shines in City traffic. It will probably give 25kmpl in City traffic. But I understand no one has tested the strong hybrid variant exclusively in City.

[@sa34w]

It’s a 1000km + car for full tank . This mileage is just not indicative of it’s true mileage

[@akshay-nr7xk]

@@sa34w i am not sure what do you mean by that, in my ignis i consistently get above 24, even can get 25 with some light throttle throughout the city. I agree it's a light car but at the end of the day all such complexity of a strong hybrid for maybe small improvement i think is not worth it over k15C from what i heard has amazing efficiency

[@sanchit926]

@@akshay-nr7xk what a joke. are ignis and Grand vitara cars of the same size/segment? might as well compare with maruti 800 as well

[@akshay-nr7xk]

@@sanchit926 lol performance or fuel efficiency doesn't care about segments, if you are buying a car that has this expensive dedicated hybrid systems for fuel efficiency and you get this low mileage what's the point of having this complexity. K15 is used in the cars in the same segment as the grand vitara i would rather have a car with a simple engine like k15 over a more complex system which just delivers maybe 10 percent more "real life" mileage. I guess nowadays people just want a suv sized cars for city duty which is just stupid

[@jaggpaddy]

Maruti don't have its own engine unlike tata and Mahindra. Maruti depends on Suzuki/Toyota the Japanese car makers. Since Japanese have only petrol engines, maruti is helpless. Getting Fiat multiget makes it costlier. But the business tactics of Maruti is Selling a underpowered petrol cars that too at the price of Diesel cars presently available in the market. Maruti tries to justify by giving features like 360 degree camera, HUD, which are no way useful to the driver. Now a days Maruti lables it's car by mileage. But don't forget that it has got a battery inside to give power. Lifetime of the battery is just 2 years. Approximately it will cost 1 to 1.5 lacs for replacement that too in just 2 years. Think about it.

[@pradiptadash4454]

This is absolutely misleading video to the buyers .. I got a brand new Grand vitatra strong hybrid and drive it 900 KM in city area moderate traffic condition and continuously in eco mode .. The true average is just around 15kmpl on most smoother way of driving . I think it's 2-3 Km lesser that maruti mild hybrid engine . over and above the K series 4 cylinder suzuki engine is much smoother in terms of engine sound this toyota 3 cylinder engineer sounds and vibrates like an old school disel ambasadoor engine . Toyota in collaboration with suzuki is just cheating indians with this hybrid concept no gain at all rather selling the old tech 3 cylinder engines using maruti name .. I repent about this engine for which I paid 3L premium over a normal K series mild hybrid Please raise it to Maruti and toyota on my behalf .. it's cheating to indian customers just to compete with strong built VW/Skoda or feature rich Kia and Hyundai mid size cars . Simply it's a petrol car and fuel economy is not that great . Strong hybrid arrangement is just a hype to cell old 3 cylinder toyota engines that to taking 3 L more price .

The Hybrid works best when you actually use the battery. So if you drive in the city you get a lot better mileage as the battery will be used a lot more than on a highway run.

I don't know about this car but I have the new brezza AT. Claimed mileage is 19.8kmpl. On mixed highway and city I am getting 16.5. My highest so far is 18.5. I am somewhat convinced these hybrids do offer very close to claimed mileage unlike just normal cars.
